Summary
In the last podcast we ended with Katheryn Howard married and Thomas Cromwell was executed. If you missed it, I’d recommend going back and listening to that one first, it was called Katheryn Howard: Part One.
As a queen of England Katheryn is only remembered for being the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and was executed. If it hadn’t been for her scandalous downfall, and said execution, we would not have as much interest in Katheryn as we do today.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Rebecca Larson, owner of tutorsdynasty.com, and you have found my podcast. |
| 0:12.4 | In the last episode, we ended with Catherine Howard, married, and Thomas Cromwell executed. |
| 0:18.7 | If you missed it, I'd recommend going back and listening to that one first. |
| 0:22.3 | It was called Catherine Howard Part 1. |
| 0:26.8 | After weeks of reading and researching Catherine Howard, I have come to my own conclusion |
| 0:32.3 | on who I believe she was as a person. |
| 0:37.2 | Often we hear people call her naive or abused, but I've come to the realization that |
| 0:43.8 | Catherine was merely immature and reckless. |
| 0:47.5 | She made many mistakes in her life, ones that if she had the maturity to think through, |
| 0:52.9 | she would not have committed. |

| 1:04.0 | If it hadn't been for her scandalous downfall and said execution, we would not have as much |

| 1:13.1 | In an alternative history setting, one can imagine that Catherine was the last wife of Henry |

| 1:34.6 | All these options are possibilities, but we know her ending. |
| 1:38.7 | And for me, she will forever be the Howard girl who was reckless and immature and who loved quickly. |
| 1:48.2 | But before we get too deep into her story, I need to send out a special thank you to my |
